Where will Phillies Rule 5 Draft selection Kyle Holder fit into their lineup?
The 2020 installment of Major League Baseball’s Rule 5 Draft was held Thursday afternoon. Lost in their headlines of them hiring Dave Dombrowski as their new president of baseball operations, the Philadelphia Phillies selected shortstop Kyle Holder from the New York Yankees, while losing no prospects of their own in the major league phase of the draft.
Set to turn 27 in May, Holder is officially listed as a shortstop, but he has some versatility as a utility infielder to play second and third base as well.
